Product DescriptionIdeal for a wide range of photographers from first-time digital SLR users to veteran photo enthusiasts, the new Canon EOS Rebel XS camera is designed to embody what you have come to expect from the EOS Rebel series -- a fast, non-intimidating, lightweight, easy-to-use camera that produces excellent images and starts emerging photographers off on the right foot. Immediately, photographers will take notice of the camera's Optical Image Stabilized kit lens for crisp focus, compensating for camera shake from unsteady hands or a moving vehicle. The new Rebel model also incorporates Canon's DIGIC III image processor, 10.1 megapixel CMOS sensor, Live View, Auto Lighting Optimizer, 7-point wide-area autofocus (AF) sensor and 3.0 frames per second continuous JPEG burst rate where the number of consecutive shots in a burst is only limited by the capacity of the flash memory card in the camera.

Rating: - Outstanding DSLR for the price
This camera is an excellent choice for those who are taking their first steps into serious (SLR) photography. The "basic" zones give comfortable starting point for new photographers; selecting one of these puts the camera in full automatic mode, akin to a point-and-shoot camera.
The XS also has plenty of room for a new photographer to grow with 4 pseudo-manual modes, and full manual. Each of these modes, particularly manual, allows for much greater artistic expression and control than ... Read More
Rating: - Fantastic Little Camera!!
I researched for some time to upgrade from a Canon A570 point and shoot...a nice camera but not up to my skill level at photography. So I came upon the Rebels and the new XS. I am very pleased with the outcomes so far. This is very easy to use, being familiar with Canon products and the autolevels are accurate.
Fantastic camera, everyone who has looked at my photos want to know what camera.
Rating: - Great Camera, Great Pics
I love this camera. Now, I am no expert but I am a picture fanatic and these pics are beautiful. It is my first SLR. I've wanted one for a while. And it was well worth it. The only thing I wish it had was a wireless remote. It has a remote that you connect to the camera with a wire, (bought seperatly), and it works great. I take alot of family photos, sometimes with me in them, and the wireless would be easier. Other than that, great product, great price, great pics.
Rating: - Excellent choice
This is my first DSLR since the days of film and the AE1. I owned various Canon point-and-shoot models and it was time for an upgrade. After many weeks of researched, I decided to go with the XS model and I am sooo glad I did. My other options was the XSi or the Nikon D60. However, the features and price Won me over.
This is an excellent camera for beginners as well as advance photographers. It is easy to learn and the photo quality and saturation are just perfect.
Rating: - A Lot of Camera for Not a Lot of Money
This camera is a FANTASTIC value...as long as you don't buy it for full retail price. I believe full retail for the kit with the EF-S 18-55mm IS lens is about $600, but I bought it on Amazon for about $460. There are deals to be had on this camera, so make sure you find them.
CNET has a good review of this camera, so I'll just list the pros and cons as I see them.
